[Steering & Suspension] Drop Link Replacement

[Nice4dad]

Hi Guys,

Have been mainly a silent viewer on this site. Very useful for finding out about the car, thanks all. The car has been remarkably reliable considering its age. But, had the car serviced recently and the garage noted that a front drop link needed changing. The part is on order but I don't yet have a torx socket. Could anybody enlighten me on the size I require?

For the record, the drop link I took out didn't have a torx recess in the head ends, but the new replacement did. Its a T30, a simple torx 'Allen key type' would have done.

Just buy a set from Halfords or similar - small money.

Agreed Geoff and that's what I did.
